It was right on the tip of my tongue And I forgot to say "I love you" It was right on the tip of my tongue And I forgot to say "I love you" I played the game of love and lost And now my heart must pay the cost I had the chance to make you mine, but I wasted too much time And let your love slip away It was right on the tip of my tongue And I forgot to say "I love you" It was right on the tip of my tongue And I forgot to say "I love you" While I was wondering where to start She came along and won your heart With all the tender words of love that I was thinking of But never bothered to say Mmm, wait a minute, wait a minute I've got something to tell you Don't walk away, baby It was right on the tip of my tongue And I forgot to say "I love you" It was right on the tip of my tongue (And I forgot to say) to say, to say... (Ah, ah, ahh, tip of my tongue) my tongue (Tip of my tongue) Didn't you know? Couldn't you see? I tried to tell you--please...? Don't you understand? I love you... Don't walk away...oh, please...?
